Otter Creek Inn

I hate to leave bad reviews for small privately owned buisneses, but this was a tough one. upon arriving at the property we were not greated by a person even though the owners were on premise. I had to call them for check in information, they never came out to say welcome or anything. This was not a huge issue. The place is cute on the outside and the area is beautiful as we knew it would be. Now once inside the first thing we noticed was the huge gap all arounfd the door almost a 1" gap along the bottom of the front door that led directly to the outside. large enough for mice, rats to get in. we contacted the owner for some extra towels to wedge under the door and when the lady arrived with the towels she was very put and not vey happy at all. The ceiling fan was covered with so much dust we were afraid to use it. Beds were terribly uncomfortable and tiny. The shower was about the size of a shower in a small boat or travel trailer. I could not bend over in it. We were really excited about this place until we checked in. This place could be really nice with a little work, maintenance and cleaning, but as is I would not stay here again.

I’m sure not many head up to Bar Harbor and plan on watching a lot of TV but that was all I had a problem with. Had to go into town for Thursday night football, which is a super short drive. Add a smart tv to go along with great Wi-Fi and it’s perfect. Great location at a great price. Thanks!

Door was very difficult to close, instructions for getting in the room were not clear, old sheets wouldn't stay on the bed, shower was nearly impossible to get a usable temperature.

The property was an older hotel but quaint. We enjoyed sitting with the staff at breakfast and had great conversations they also made fresh blueberry and cranberry muffins. Wow!! they were a great staff. IF YOU NEED A HAIR DRYER FOR A MORNING SHOWER JUST ASK THE NIGHT BEFORE YOU GO TO BED!!

Place was listed for 4 people. The pullout couch was the worst bed I ever experienced. Sleeping on the floor was better than that. Bumpy and Squeaky spring. No way to accommodate 4 guests. I saw Inn keeper lady treated bad to some guests. I would give them zero star if I could.

Otter Creek Inn was a clean and quirky place to stay while visiting nearby Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. A straight shot and easy drive to both locations, the Inn was charming and friendly. We stayed in the Loon Room, and found it clean and cheerful. For those reviewers who picked it apart, ask yourselves if you would have gotten the same for the price you paid at any chain hotel. My guess would be “no”. Quirky, sure, but that is part of the charm. For those who complained about size and cleanliness, I am here to disagree. Our room was very clean, and exactly the amount of room that we needed. The showers had been described as tiny, and as a not so tiny person I was concerned, but I had no need to be. There was more than enough room to shower. The bed was huge and we both slept quite well. Even the continental breakfast was way more than continental. We had breakfast sandwiches, fruit, coffee and tea to choose from every morning, and always greeted with kindness and a smile. The only two reasons I didn’t give it five stars was 1) the store part was closed on the day we left and we didn’t know that (our own fault for not checking) so we couldn’t get supplies for the ride home, and 2) the door to our room (and I’m guessing other rooms) was super hard to shut, so you kind of had to bang it shut to lock it. From the occasional banging from other rooms, I’m guessing the same applies for them. Again, humidity can do that, but that was a bit of a bummer. We were fortunate in that it wasn’t very warm when we stayed so the lack of AC was no big deal, and they did have a ceiling fan and stand up fan in the room, but I could see where that might be an issue on hot nights. Overall a lovely stay and super affordable.

The staff at this location were welcoming and incredibly helpful. We would definitely stay here again if the situation presented itself. Quick and easy access to Acadia!

Check-in staff were friendly. The room was clean and tidy, but the blinds need to be replaced or repaired as one would not close completely and the one over the door did not cover the whole opening. I was concerned that someone could look right into the bed.

This property was within 30 mins max of several spots in Acadia National park. It’s quaint and lovely! Having the market next store is very convenient, and Dawn is very kind!! Enjoyed our stay very much!
